The challenges Mira Loma’s cafeteria faces is a lack of proper seating for a large number of people. The tables are long and rectangular making it not convenient for a social setting. The walls are plain and lack visual appeal. In addition the food lines are unorganized which leaves students bunched together in groups instead of neat organized lines when trying to get food from the cafeteria. Another major problem this cafeteria faces is a lack of a proper heating and air conditioning system, and the unappealing landscape that surrounds the building. Mira Loma is in need for a new cafeteria design due to it’s inefficient functionality as far as being a social gathering place for students. There is also an absence of student interest in this place because of it’s plain visual aesthetics.
As a company we take into consideration all aspects of a design, the function of the building and who we are building for which is why we know we will succeed in creating a setting that only gather students together while also serving as an oasis for students to learn and relax.
In 2010 Mira Loma High School celebrated its 50th anniversary. Built in 1960, Mira Loma High School is one of nine comprehensive
high schools in the San Juan Unified School District, located in Sacramento County. With one primary feeder school and strong academic and extracurricular programs, Mira Loma is a school of choice for many of San Juan as well as out of district students.
The school is located in a suburban community, with students from a wide spectrum of socio-economic backgrounds. This diversity is a valuable asset that strengthens and enriches our community. Mira Loma High School is a comprehensive high school with 1665 students. This represents an increase in enrollment of about a hundred students over the previous year. Enrollment is favorably affected by students from outside Mira Loma’s attendance area. These students choose to attend Mira Loma for its outstanding IB, MYP, IS, and Passport programs.
From this pool, Mira Loma attracts 353 inter-district students and 80 intra-district students. Mira Loma currently has 451 freshmen, 435 sophomores, 423 juniors, and 356 seniors. The Mira Loma community exhibits a genuine dedication to all students, fosters a collaborative culture that is empathetic to students, and feels a pride in being part of the Mira Loma Matador Culture and its history of academic excellence.
